Question / Help Three Logitech Webcams - Can't stop AutoFocus.

[heidelman]

So I've successfully connected and streamed with three Logitech webcams, each is a c922x Pro Stream webcam. (Plus a 4th input of HDMI via an elgato dongle.) I am not using the background removal tech for the Logitechs.

But my problem is that the Logitech camera's are auto focusing constantly, like 1-2 times a second. They won't stop. When I go to the settings and turn off auto focus it only effects one camera.

Any ideas besides not using the same exact cameras lol?

Besides that the stream looks great, all cameras are functional.

It maybe because the "local" settings using OBS Studio aren't taking.

Try going through each Logitech webcamera and disable autofocus by using Logitech Gaming Framework and choose each one of them along the bottom row. Go into their Advanced properties and disable Auto focus.

...(smacks forehead) You solved it. It's in the advanced settings exactly as in your picture. Thought it was only lighting stuff there. I could kiss you kind internet stranger. Seriously made my month. Can't believe I didn't notice it there too. You just helped me out big time! You're a hero!

Glad to hear it worked.

However, this appears that OBS Studio and/or Logitech API has a bug. The "local" settings via Configure Video aren't overriding the "global" settings.
Based on this observation, its best to use the Logitech Gaming Framework application for all webcam adjustments. The disadvantage is that these settings are global for every application you use and tied specifically to OBS Studio streaming/recording.
